"Portrait of Gottfried Keller" is a notable painting by the Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin, created in 1891. This work of art captures the likeness of Gottfried Keller, a prominent Swiss poet and writer, who is best known for his literary contributions to the German Realism movement. Böcklin, who was a contemporary of Keller, was renowned for his mythological and fantastical subjects, often imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection. However, in this portrait, he diverges from his typical subject matter to honor Keller with a more conventional representation.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by Böcklin's distinctive style, which combines a classical approach to form with a unique handling of color and atmosphere. The portrait depicts Keller at the age of 71, a year before his death, and reflects an air of dignity and contemplation appropriate to the writer's stature and age. Böcklin's brushwork and use of light emphasize the textures of Keller's face and attire, creating a vivid sense of realism while also suggesting the psychological depth of the sitter.

"Portrait of Gottfried Keller" is not only a testament to the friendship and mutual respect between the artist and the writer but also an important cultural artifact that bridges the worlds of Swiss literature and visual art at the end of the 19th century. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a historical document, providing insight into the era's intellectual milieu. It remains a significant piece within Böcklin's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Swiss art history.
